SATAN IS WORKING HARD FOR THEIR KINGDOM!

Are you feeling very frustrated or tired over some stuff in your life now? Being persecuted or many more? Beware, Satan is working real hard like us, working hard for the Kingdom of God. Sometimes you realised why haven't you got the time to go for events like caregroup, shepherding, service or events, well, that's a choice for us.

I recalled an entry that was posted in Dewen's blog on June 18. It goes:

Never think church activities as an obligation. They are not obligations. If you love God, you will come. Church activities are not social clubs. They are not there for you to skip as and when you like it. Is God not worthy of your time? oh come on…pls…you muz be thinking. “i can also worship God at home rite?” then i tell you that your thinking is ABSOLUTELY wrong. if that’s what God intended, then why did He instituted church and put Acts church in the Bible. Come on, get your act together. Church is not a playground. If you want to play, go somewhere else. Dont mess with what God instituted.

For people who faced school commitments and parental objections, I FULLY empathised with your situations.really! But you have to try your best to ask and ask again. Get your priorities right. God is more than worthy. I was once persecuted by parents. I was once threatened of being demoted of my rank in cca and all CCA points to be taken off me by my CCA teacher. i mean what’s the big deal? Honestly, i dont feel that as a sacrifice. Come on, what did we give? some of our time and some of our rights to God. then in comparison, what did Jesus give? HE GAVE HIS LIFE. mind you! Its really time to give your best and commit.

Even for myself, i have got time that will hinder myself from attending ministry like this. The problem is not whether you CAN make it or not but rather did you try your BEST to prioritise God's ministry. Below is an e-mail sent to me, have a look and see how satan works in order to stop you from attending church's ministry.

SATAN'S MEETING:

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening address he said,

'We can't keep Christians from going to church.'
'We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth.'
'We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their saviour.'
'Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken.'
'So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ..'

'This is what I want you to do,' said the devil:
'Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!'

'How shall we do this?' his demons shouted.

'Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds,' he answered.
'Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow.'
'Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles.'
'Keep them from spending time with their children.'
'As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!'
'Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice.'
'Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive.' To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly.'
'This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ.'
'Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers.'
'Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day.'
'Invade their driving moments with billboards.'
'Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services and false hopes..'
'Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives. '
'Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night.'
'Give them headaches too! '
'If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere.'
'That will fragment their families quickly!'
'Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas.'
'Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death.'
'Even in their recreation, let them be excessive.'
'Have them return from their recreation exhausted.'
'Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead.'
'Keep them busy, busy, busy!'
'And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences. '
'Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus.'
'Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause.'
'It will work!'
'It will work!'

It was quite a plan! The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there. Having little time for their God or their families. Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives. I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes? You be the judge!!!!! Does 'BUSY' mean: B-eing U-nder S-atan's Y-oke?

So now, what is your conclusion? Continue to let Satan control you or stop yourself from being controlled by him? Get your life right and prioritise things right! :D

Jiayou! :P
